RoweBots Debuts New Medical and Healthcare RTOS at Medica

DUSSELDORF, Germany /ScoopCloud/ -- Today at Medica, the world's largest medical event, RoweBots, an embedded software company, announces the immediate availability of Unison MedicalOS, a real-time operating system (RTOS) for medical applications and wearable devices.

With known challenges of cost, time to market, size and more, plus additional hurdles for certification across different countries and levels, Unison MedicalOS solves multiple pain points for medical OEM developers and programmers.

The RTOS enables OEM developers to design virtually any healthcare and medical device with low risk, minimum time to market and minimum lifecycle costs on a solid, focused platform, while providing selected, pre-qualified components with a broad set of features. These features can be quickly integrated to meet the needs of any development project, such as devices worn on the body for home healthcare, complete with medical certification support.

"Technological advances have paved the way for smart medical devices that not only shorten hospital stays, but also save lives," said Kim Rowe, CEO and founder of Rowebots. "Rowebots ensures developers have access to an RTOS that helps them easily design the medical devices of the future, adhering to security and certification protocols. Unison MedicalOS empowers developers to change healthcare for the better, from providing wearables with notifications for the elderly to take their medication to monitoring vital signs in case of an emergency."

To ensure security, a critical requirement in the healthcare industry, Unison MedicalOS leverages memory management protection to eliminate the dangers of dynamic loading, a clear liability when it comes to security. In addition to this foundational, architecture-based security, Unison MedicalOS also provides a suite of additional security-critical components, from secure SMTP to bootloader protocols, encryption/decryption and reliable wireless communication.

Supporting a choice of reliable and secure MCUs and MPUs, along with an RTOS environment tailored for very small systems, Unison MedicalOS features lean product development support, adaptable and modular architecture and full-layered security, among other characteristics. The RTOS also features support for the Microsoft Azure Cloud computing service. The ability to connect a set of services via this ready-made hub not only offers enhanced privacy and security, but also helps developers expand the capabilities of networked devices.

Unison MedicalOS is based on RoweBots' proven Unison RTOS solution, a real-time operating system that offers a complete component set for the development of IoT and M2M Communication Embedded Applications. The RTOS is designed to the well-known POSIX standard, and is optimized for size, modularity and adaptability to system-on-chip solutions, microcontroller units, microprocessor units, digital signal processing systems, field-programmable gate arrays and digital signal controllers. It is intended to help developers take products beyond the prototype level and add value with the opportunity for later expansion and enhancement of the product line.

Unison MedicalOS comes with a reference design kit to help developers create application designs for their projects. By connecting the components in the kit, developers can verify transfer of data and commands and use them as a platform to reliably begin development of innovative medical and healthcare applications.

RoweBots will demonstrate its Unison MedicalOS technology at Medica in DUsseldorf, Germany, November 13-16, 2017. To learn more, visit https://rowebots.com/.

RoweBots Announces UnisonOS RTOS Support for Platform Security Architecture from Arm

SANTA CLARA, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Today, RoweBots, a leading embedded software company, announced its support of Platform Security Architecture (PSA) from Arm, and Arm(R) TrustZone(R) technology, which enable system-wide security.

PSA from Arm provides significant software development cost reductions and enables security to be consistently designed-in for systems using Arm Cortex(R)-A and Cortex-M based-processors. By standardizing the methods and means to access cryptographic functions, extending the TrustZone partitioning model, standardizing APIs, and providing an open solution for any RTOS support including mechanisms to enable certifications, Arm has enabled the next level of security for microcontrollers.

UnisonOS, with its variants for Arm-based MCUs and MPUs, is ideally suited as a platform to deliver PSA from Arm to OEM developers utilizing a broad set of hardware. With complete security functionality, UnisonOS's industry leading security features will be further enhanced with better security layering and isolation. Rowebots' UnisonOS and all of its derivatives-Unison MedicalOS, Unison VehicleOS, Unison WearableOS and Unison ConsumerOS will support PSA.

"Connected devices are being deployed at a rapid pace and to truly realize the benefits of these technologies, which have potentially life-changing implications, security can no longer be optional," said Paul Williamson, vice president and general manager, IoT Device IP, Arm. "This is a shared industry responsibility, which is why Arm is working with partners, including RoweBots, to shift the economics of security by providing a common framework for building more secure connected devices through PSA."

The Unison RTOS utilizes the security features of the Armv8-M architecture and TrustZone as a primary security mechanism for IoT and embedded applications. TrustZone hardware is utilized by the security software elements in Rowebots' UnisonOS and all of its derivatives depending on specific hardware implementations for medical, wearable, consumer, vehicle IoT, and general industrial markets.

Unison RTOS offers heterogeneous multicore processing using thin wires or shared memory. These features along with the simple system architecture make Unison an ideal choice for secure systems. Additional security features include: TLS, IPSec / VPN, HTTPS, Secure wireless links, SFTP, SSH, Secure email, Secure bootloader with automatic fallback, SNMP v3, and Filtering-all with a tiny footprint.

Rowebots' CEO Kim Rowe noted, "PSA provides a common industry framework for building secure connected devices and combined with Unison RTOS, provide a secured POSIX RTOS for Cortex-A and Cortex-M MCUs. Devices that are designed with the secure foundation mapped out by PSA can dramatically improve security across connected devices with compounded benefits into the future."

Unison RTOS comes with several packaging options to support various application areas including wearables, instrumentation, vehicles, home automation, industrial automation, and others.
